Bobcat Bulletin
September 29, 2023
Caragher's Corner
Hey Bobcat Nation,
It's been another great week of excitement at GBS. Our student had the opportunity to participate in a special presentation from Mr. Percy Hill, an end of day assembly, not to mention a variety of different learning opportunities that are part of their day to day experience.
We need you and your students opinion. The district has contract Prismatic Services to help look at potential reconfiguration of the ConVal School District. There is a QR code in the last section of the Bobcat Bulletin for the parent survey and we need your permission to survey GBS students. In order to have students opt in and participate, we need you to complete the form by clicking HERE. Without your saying yes and opting in, we can not gather your students' opinion. If you have already completed this form, you are all set! If you have not, please consider making sure that your student has a voice!
Take a look at the content below and have a great weekend!
PS - Home and Harvest Festival is on for this weekend!

Percy Hill
As mentioned above, Percy Hill came to Great Brook Middle School to share and organize some activities that promote Kindness, Respect, Positivity, and Empathy. During the week he met with every student and worked with them on these skills. His message hits right at home with our Bobcat Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, and Safety. Check out some pictures of the event below.
Thanks for coming Percy!
